Show storing alfalfa hay Is always important task As a rule role I 1 would judge it best to allow alfalfa hay that is put in the mow to a depth of about 8 or 10 feet to remain there for a period of three weeks week before additional hay Is added I 1 ani am referring now to hay that Is put up while still la in a semi green condition with this period the heating process should for the most part have spent itself in many sections there has been so much rainfall this season that the air Is very humid and care should be used to refrain from storing alfalfa hay that la is damp with dew or rain or that Is 18 too green where this Is done the heating may occur to such an extent as to blacken the hay and spontaneous combustion might occur it Is also important that the hay be spread evenly and uniformly in the mow L F graber wisconsin college of agriculture |
